This is an unusual one: a survival game set in a flooded world that's maybe Earth, where you're a robot known as a Caretaker whose purpose is to grow humans in pods, imbibe them with memories and launch them into space (where they will presumably live). There's also a bulbous kind of plant-like plague seen growing across the metal surfaces of facilities in the trailer, giving us a strong impression of 'something has gone very wrong', and to that end I see some aggressive black blob-like things crawling around in the demo. I'm also really pleased to hear Ilvessuo place an emphasis on the importance of story in the game, and in bringing together the fragmented threads of mystery weaved through it, because it makes it sound like a world that's filled rather than one that's barren.
